Looks good. This also merges properly and still has the right semantics,
even after my gup_benchmark overhaul [1]. (Just have to change
mm/gup_benchmark.c to mm/gup_test.c).

The new needs_mmap_lock rule here still does the right thing, in other
words, after adding the new DUMP_USER_PAGES_TEST (a non-fast variant).
